54.2 gram full slice.   Lunar (frag. breccia)

TKW 1420 grams. Fall not observed. Purchased 2017 from a dealer in Nouakchott, Mauritania.


 


Matthias writes:
Shock stage, weathering stage: moderate

Full slice 54.2 g, one side polished; exposing the destructive processes forming the surface of the moon, unshielded by an atmosphere, the countless impacts which shatter the surface into debris.

I personally like the chalky white of the feldspar, so similar to the white of the full moon at a clear sky.
